The best laid plans...

It’s Michael’s mum’s birthday today and we are off out for a Chinese meal later. Tonight was originally supposed to have been my night off, but one of my colleagues has phoned in sick and as we share someone who is due, I have agreed to be available. Whilst it’s not so bad staying available on my night off when I have nothing planned, I had been looking forward to some plum wine tonight. Michael has kindly offered to drive me to work if needed so I can have a glass of wine but it’s probably not a sensible solution!
